From More Than Capable · 01:06:29
Show by Kyle Layne
What happens when the people closest to you have no idea how much you're struggling? For years, host Kyle pursued discipline, achievement, and control while privately battling alcohol addiction. His friends saw someone ambitious, capable, and successful. What they couldn't see was how close he was to losing everything. Recorded at Alliance Jiu-Jitsu in Eagle, Idaho, Kyle sits down with two longtime friends and mentors who knew him through very different chapters of his life. Brian knew Kyle as a college student and fraternity leader. Zach met him on the jiu-jitsu mats, became a close friend and business partner, and eventually drove hours to bring him home from rehab. Through readings from Kyle's memoir, Chasing Control, and candid reflections on their shared experiences, the three explore the limits of willpower, the struggles we hide from those closest to us, and how friendship ane life can change when the truth finally comes to light.
